I've heard from a friend who knows people that the integration with social media is even more immerse in the 1020. I was wondering if this was true and if so how much more (examples perhaps). And if it is would some of those immersion techniques be implemented on future Lumia devices, say of the top of my head........the 925. lol

Is it possible to purchase the Lumia 1020 from AT&T outright for the full purchase price and then unlock it and use it with a T-mobile SIM? I know the U.S. version of the phone supports LTE Band 4 which is what T-mobile uses. However, it looks like AWS HSPA+ is disabled on the 1020. Would unlocking the phone enable AWS HSPA+ and make the phone fully compatible with T-mobile's network? I live in Long Island NY where we get T-mobile LTE and just switched to T-mobile this past weekend (got a Lumia 925), but it would be awesome if I had the option to get the Lumia 1020!!!

Here i go
- Is there any kind of "sharpness control " In Nokia pro camera? It was present In 808.
- Is it able to put off the phone 38 mpx pics without using a pc? For example dropbox/SkyDrive/email
- how grainy (noisy) are 800 ISO pics at full res compared to Lumia 920?
- which is the highest ISO level you can select manually? And what about automatically set iso, forcing a fast shutter speed and +2ev overexposed pic In very low light? What is the max iSO level In that situation?

No sharpness control

See above: Only the AT&T version can back up full res to the cloud via AT&T Locker

Haven't done a direct comparison at that level. But the 1020 is much better than 920 overall for images.

3200 ISO, yes, can select manually. Will have to test that latter situation.

I would not bother heading down this route. AT&T is not obligated to unlock it for you (meaning you could be screwed) and SIM unlocking won't unlock any radios. 925 is a damn sweet phone on T-Mobile, I'd stick with that.

How long does it take from starting camera to having picture captured?
I'm bothered with this comment from Verge
"The lag is most obvious when you’re unlocking the Lumia 1020 straight to the camera app, which takes about five seconds of holding the shutter button before you’re ready to take a picture. "
Did you notice the same?
